Kyrgyz Names: Meanings, Origins & Traditions
Kyrgyz names appear here in the Cyrillic alphabet used in Kyrgyzstan, with Latin spellings only where a cited source provides them. Kyrgyz shares many name elements with Kazakh, but the spellings differ (for example long vowels such as уу), so each entry keeps the forms documented for Kyrgyz separately rather than assuming a Kazakh form is also Kyrgyz.
